Dropping frames while recording, 3D usage reaches 100% ?

[Wheat_Rat]

Hi all,

Having issues while recording that I never used to have. Frames dropping hugely, down to 10-15 fps. GPU and CPU overall usage remains middling, but the 3D usage jumps to 100% once there is any in-game movement.

The problem still occurs when recording from a scene collection that only has the capture.

Was previously able to record without any issues at all. Didn't use my OBS for a few months and now I'm having these issues.

Hardware is a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X & Geforce RTX 360.

Use Game Capture instead of Display Capture.

Why is there such a big difference between the captures? I'd been using display capture as some games just refused to hook properly

You should only use Display Capture if you need to capture Windows stuff such as Start menu or desktop OR if Game and Window Capture do not work for your game.
